Took to the headstock with a coping saw and cut out a very original design of my own working. :-p
Bastard file, less bastardy file, coarse sandpaper, finer sandpaper and a few beers later...
Hit it with a single coat of vintage amber and wiped it over with a damp cloth to smooth it out a little. Let it dry and then hit it with some steel wool to tone it down a little. Tested all this out on scrap pieces and found the oil coats will brown this a little and get it close to the colour I'm looking for (hopefully). Letting this dry for a few days before I attempt oiling.
